March 31, 2008 - Introducing... State Coverage

State coverage is complementary to plain-old-code-coverage. It tells you what state does not get checked by tests. For instance, it will flag all those assert-less JUnits your colleagues have been writing to hit their coverage quotas.

*Actually, reduction of levity is not one of the goals of state coverage. And the development of state coverage actually predates CRAP, so we could hardly have developed it with humor abatement in mind. But, paradoxically, talking about levity reduction has the opposite effect in me, so I've let myself get carried away.
